The Lambs Club in Midtown is a theatrical dining experience that perfectly captures New York’s old-school glamour while delivering thoroughly modern cuisine. Housed in the landmark Chatwal Hotel, the restaurant’s rich cardinal red banquettes, chrome accents, and impressive 18th-century fireplace create an atmosphere that feels like stepping into a more elegant era of Manhattan dining.

Chef Michael White’s menu strikes that perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. The classics shine here – their perfectly executed Lamb’s Club Burger has developed a cult following among midtown power lunchers, while evening brings standouts like the dry-aged NY strip with bone marrow bordelaise that reminds you why steakhouse classics became classics in the first place. The seafood options shouldn’t be overlooked either, with the yellowfin tuna crudo offering a lighter but equally memorable option.

What truly elevates The Lambs Club beyond just another midtown restaurant is how it manages to feel special without being stuffy. The bar program deserves special attention, with cocktails that honor the space’s prohibition-era roots while incorporating contemporary techniques and flavors.

It’s ideal for pre-theater dinners, business meals that need to impress, or simply when you want to feel like you’re dining in the New York of your imagination – glamorous, polished, and genuinely delicious.
